A QB needs elite, game-breaking WRs to be successful... or does he?

Now, I'm not saying Sam Bradford is Tom Brady (yet), and we don't know how the Rams' rookies and second year players will pan out, but...

Does anyone here want to argue that some combination of Amendola, Avery, Clayton, Pettis, Salas, Alexander, Gibson Gilyard, Kendricks and Hoomanawanui CAN'T be as good (or even better) than those four?

I think he has something up his sleeve. That or he doesn't like what he sees in our current receiving corp. He has a plan and I hope his plan works. It does look like he doesn't need speed in our receivers, except for avery.

Brady is nt the greatest QB to play the game. Not really even close, in my book.

That is a ridiculous statement. What does Stan Kroenke (2010), Steve Spagnuolo (2009) and Billy Devaney (2008 when he began to have real power) have to do with 2005-2008?

This is essentially year 3 of this regime. If you can't see the progress, you're just not looking.

Of course NONE OF THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY ORIGINAL POST WHICH YOU CONVENIENTLY AVOIDED.

The point is, the Patriots have been very effective passing the ball without a 6'2, 210 lb. WR who runs a 4.3. They use a combination of small guys (Welker, Branch) and sure handed TEs (Gronkowski, Hernandez) in a system that works. This is the same system the Rams are implementing, so maybe there's method to what you see as madness in the selection of receivers.

Here's the short answer -- not unless they all get traded to the Patriots.

Right, because the Patriots players sip a magical elixir before every game that makes what they do impossible to duplicate...

There is nothing special about what the Patriots do. They have an excellent leader in Brady and receivers that fit a scheme. Dress it up any way you want, but that's all it is at the core. With this draft, we've shown that we're building a similar offense. And we can likely expect similar results down the road.
